Published in 1493 by Anton Koberger, one of the great printers of the time, the Nuremberg Chronicle is the work of the German humanist and physician from Nuremberg Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514), who drew his historical and geographical sources from his extensive library, one of the largest book collections of the 15th century.

Generally quite a clean copy, with good margins (albeit some shaved head-lines). Scattered marginalia (one (CXVIIIr) dated to 1555), mostly in secretarial hand. Armorial ex-libris of the convent of the Grands Augustins in Lyon and of Lionel H. Pries to the front paste-down. Pries's bibliographical cuttings pasted to the recto of the initial binder's blank. Obliterated bookplate adjacent to the Grands Augustins ex-libris. Armorial bookplate of a French count on the rear paste-down. Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) is the historian who compiled the text of the Chronicae, but in some ways his was the least important role in the process of the book. In the era of printing's infancy (incunabula means "swaddling-clothes"), the printers and publishers (including investors) were often the more important agents in the creation of a book. Schedel lived on the same street as nearly all of his partners in the venture. This extraordinary neighborhood of book-producers came together to produce something that far surpassed the long-established genre of chronicles to which it belongs. Two colophons give different accounts of the work's completion; we know that it was begun in December of 1491. The first colophon (fol. CCLXVIr) gives 5 June 1493 as the date of completion. The second (fol. CCCv), which is fuller and gives the names of the publishers, gives 12 July 1493. The lasting appeal of the Chronicle, of which 1,205 copies survive according to the census in the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke, is its extraordinary woodcuts and their contribution to the overall layout. The cuts themselves vary widely in sophistication, from the almost modernist repeated cut of locusts to detailed city-views (for which the Chronicle is perhaps most famous) and the tight repertory of kings and queens, popes and popesses (Pope Joan on fol. CLXIXv is unmutilated; often zealous owners have scratched out her image or her description), which do not vary based on era or nationality. The volume must have resided for a time in Germany, as some of the marginal comments are in German, though most are in French. The unidentified armorial bookplate on the rear paste-down appears to be the oldest, and is likely French. The next point of ownership is the convent of the Grands Augustins in Lyon. Lionel "Spike" Pries (1897-1968) was a Seattle-based architect who studied at U.C. Berkeley and then at the University of Pennsylvania. Pries directed the Art Institute of Seattle (now the Seattle Art Museum) 1931-1932. BMC II, p. 437; BSB-Ink S-195; Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke M40784; Hain (rev.

First Edition with the German text. The bi-folium with fine hand-colouring to the Rome view. This is one of the large, double-page city-view woodcuts from the workshop of Mighael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff beneath 22 lines of text. It is handsomely and finely handcoloured in blues, greens, yellows, reds, grays, etc. Double-page folio ( ca. 540 x 380 mm ), handsomely mounted, framed and glazed. Leaves LVII and LVIII. In fine condition and very well preserved and presented. FROM THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, ARGUABLY THE GREATEST ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE 15TH CENTURY. The artists, Michael Wolgemut, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff have been praised and admired for over five-hundred years for their contributions to one of the monuments of early printing. David Bland calls it "a marvelous book, and a landmark in the history of illustration," and through the ages it has more than fulfilled Koberger's prophecy that it would be "the delight of the men of learning and of everyone who had any education at all." A HIGHLY IMPORTANT INCUNABLE, the "Nuremberg Chronicle" is the most extensively illustrated book of the fifteenth century, and after the Gutenberg Bible the most celebrated book printed in the fifteenth century. Its 1,809 woodcut illustrations (1,164 excluding repeats) depict popes, saints, and other religious figures, kings and emperors, historical and biblical genealogies, mythological and fanciful creatures, natural phenomena, and views of all the major cities of the known world, as well as a brilliant creation sequence. In addition to the full-sheet maps of the world and of Europe, twenty-nine city views such as this one span two pages and eight other cuts (excluding the xylographic title page) are full-page. The colophon explicitly acknowledges the contributions of the artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Albrecht Dürer was at that time a pupil in Wolgemut's workshop and there is good evidence that he did many of the preliminary drawings for woodcuts and may even have cut some of them (see Adrian Wilson, THE MAKING OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE).

First Edition with the Latin text, the bifolium with fine hand-colouring to the Venice view. This is one of the large, double-page city-view woodcuts from the workshop of Mighael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff beneith 24 lines of text. The view of Venice was adapted from the 1486 woodcut by Erhard Reuwich in the Sanctae Perigrinationes. It is handsomely and finely handcoloured in blues, greens, yellows, reds, grays, etc. Double-page folio ( ca. 540 x 364 mm ), handsomely mounted, framed and glazed. Leaves XLIII and XLIIII.

Kein Einband. Condition: Gut. 1. Auflage. VLMA Kolorierte Ansicht von Ulm aus Schedels Weltchronik 1493. Dies ist die erste authentische Ansicht Ulms von der Erstauflage aus der Weltchronik von Hartmann Schedel 1493: Das buch der Croniken (Liber chronicarum.). Holzschnitt, altkoloriert in kräftigen Farben. Künstler: Michael Wolgemut and Hanns Pleydenwurff Drucker: Anton Koberger in Nürnberg. Albrecht Dürer hat in dieser Zeit in der Werkstatt gelernt und wohl an der einzigartigen Chronik mitgearbeitet. Das Blatt ist 50cm x 20cm groß. Mit Rahmen 75cm x 45cm. Zu sehen ist Ulm im Panorama von Süden aus gesehen. Im Vordergrund die Donau ( vom heutigen Neu-Ulm aus) mit Flössen, denn ab hier wurde die Donau schiffbar, und die begehbare 1480 erbaute Stadtmauer. Im Stadtmauerzug von links zu sehen: Turmpaar beiderseits des dreibogigen Auslassbauwerks des von der Blau gespeisten Kobelgrabens. Der linke Turm steht außerhalb des Stadtgrabens. Die Stauschleuse (Auslassbogen) verbinden ihn mit dem Fischerturm ( heute Wilhelmshöhe). Die rechts folgenden zwei spätgotischen Türme mit reicher Bauzier, zunächst der Einlassturm und der Dicke Turm, in Backstein 1480 erbaut.Sie hatten grünglasierte Ziegeldächer. Der Einlassturm ist proportional zu groß und zu hoch über die Stadtmauer emporragend dargestellt.Er ragte eig. nur mit dem Dach knapp über die Stadtmauer, vgl. hierzu auch Merian" Topographia Sueviae" " Ulm gegen Süd-West". Der Einlassturm wurde 1843 abgebrochen, heute ist an der Oberfläche der Stadtmauer noch der Einlasstorbogen mit Fallgatterfalz erkennbar.Vom Dicken Turm steht noch das unterste Geschoss.Zwischen den beiden Türmen sieht man die Auslassbogen der großen Blau. Dann den um 1340 entstandenen Metzgerturm, hinter der Stadtmauer stehend ( hier jedoch fehlend, da beim zusammensetzen, schneiden der beiden Seiten verloren gegangen).Es folgen ein eckiger und ein runder Wehrerker auf der Stadtmauer mit dazwischenliegender Mündung der Metzgerblau. Anschließend das mit Bildern bemalte Herdbrucker Tor mit etwas zu groß geratenen Vorlagepfeiler für die Fallgatteröffnung neben der Toröffnung. Davor die Donauinsel, befestigt und mit einer kleinen Vorstadt überbaut, 1552 abgebrannt. Rechts des Herdbrucker Tors der stattliche Komplex des im 16. Jahrhunderts erneuerten, Ehinger Hofes. Rechts davon, bei genauer Betrachtung zu erkennen, der Rundturm vor dem Diebesturm (1691 durch den heutigen Kassemattenblock ersetzt). Im Mittelpunkt das unvollendete Ulmer Münster, 1377 begonnen zu bauen mit unvollendetem Hauptturm und provisorischem Dach mit Laterne und ein Bauzuggalgen befindet sich noch sichtbar auf dem Turmkranz. Den Grat des Münsterschiffs ziert eine Art Kamm. Rechts das 1370 erbaute Rathaus mit freistehenden Fialen und mit saitenartigen Gliederungsrippen belebt, vor der Veränderung 1539. Im Hintergrund ist links vom Einlass der hohe, spitze Turm, das Glöcklertor dargestellt. Daneben ein Turm, nördlich von diesem. Rechts des Einlasstors ist wohl der Luginslandturm auf dem Weinhof ( später Schwörhaus). Rechts daneben wohl der Barfüsserturm ( ehemalige Löwentor) an der Südwestecke des Münsterplatzes.Im Hintergrund die Ulmer Berge ( damals teils auch noch Weinberge) dargestellt, welche in die Schwäbische Alb (im Norden) übergehen. Überhöht dargestellt der Michelsberg mit manchem Gartenhaus zu erkennen und auf der Bergkuppe die Michaelskirche. Durch die kontrollierbar, zuverlässigen Darstellungen vom Ulmer Münster, Rathaus, Dickem Turm und Einlassturm. kann man schließen, dass die übrigen Hauptbauten weitgehend getreu abgebildet sind. (entnommen u.a. von Hellmut Pflüger aus " Ulm-Das Bild der Stadt in alten Ansichten" von Max Schefold. Guter Gesamtzustand, zusammengesetzt von den 2 Seiten der Weltchronik von Schedel. Dadurch etwas Bildverlust in der Bildmitte (Metzgerturm) und als Fragment angeboten.Insgesamt sehr schön und wohlerhalten.

Condition: Very good condition. First edition. Liber chronicarum- Nuremberg Chronicle, an individual page from the Chronicle featuring Thrace and Turkey, Plate No. CCLXXI. This work by Schedel [1440-1514] is an illustrated world history which is based on the Bible, which follows the story of human history related in the Bible and includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel it appeared in 1493. It is a well documented incunabulum, one of the first to successfully combine illustrations and text. This epic history divides human history into 7 ages. Published and printed by Anton Koberger, the godfather of Albrecht Durer and the most successful German publisher of his day. The woodcut illustrations were made in the workshop of Michael Wolgemut [1434 - 1519], with an unpredcedented number of 1,809 illustrations. These woodblocks include views of cities and towns, battles, kings, and saints. Some images represent actual cities, and other images are purely imaginative. This page has two beautiful images on front and verso - too difficult to decide which is more interesting. Recto side describes Thrace or Thracia which "is a vast province or country. To the East is the Euxine Sea, to the South the Aegean, the river Strymon and the Macedonian plains; to the North is the Danube, and to the West the Paeonian Mountains, Hungary and the Save." The image is very detailed with a twisted tree in the foreground and many buildings in three walled clusters separated by hills. Text continues on the verso describing the heresies against the Christian faith that took place in Thrace "the one that endured the longest was that concerning the exit of the Holy Ghost" and the entrance of the Turks in Troy. The image here showing a 'sea of cities' - 8 or more cities or regions surrounded by water with sailing ships in the seas. Approximately 12 x 17 1/4", b & w, some rubbing and ruffling at margin, reinforced archivally at upper right corner, two very small ancient worm holes center of page, otherwise very clean.

A milestone in the history of publishing, the Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) of 1493 was a hugely ambitious book documenting the entire history of the world back to the Creation with a sprawling text by German scholar Hartmann Schedel and extensive woodcut illustrations.The financing, design, and production of this monumental volume over a five-year period involved many prominent members of Nuremberg society. The young artist Albrecht Dürer, who would later go on to revolutionize the art and craft of book illustration, was employed in the workshop as a key illustrator for the project. Wolgemut and Pleydenwurff, were to provide the layout of the chronicle,& oversee the production of the woodcuts. The publisher and printer was Anton Koberger, the godfather of Albrecht Dürer, who in the year of Dürer's birth in 1471 ceased goldsmithing to become a printer and publisher. He quickly became the most successful publisher in Germany, eventually owning 24 printing presses and having many offices in Germany and abroad, from Lyon to Buda. The Chronicle was first published in Latin on July 12, 1493 in the city of Nuremberg. This was quickly followed by a German translation on December 23 1493. An estimated 1400 to 1500 Latin but only 700 to 1000 German copies were published. A document from 1509 records that as many as 539 Latin versions but only 60 German versions had not been sold. Approximately 400 Latin and 300 German copies survive, scattered around the world in museums and collections. The text for the Latin and German editions of the Chronicle are set in very different typefaces, an Italian Rotunda and Schwabacher, respectively. Historians credit the book for being at the root of a subsequent custom for using different type for different languages (e.g. Roman for Latin texts and Fraktur for German).
